Matthias,

It's very simple to do what you've described using smil.  Here's an
example of  two real media files played back-to-back, when one ends the
other starts, and they will continually loop. 

<smil>
  <head>
    <layout>
      <region id="videoRegion" left="5" top="5" width="400"
height="180"/>
    </layout>
  </head>
  <body>
    <seq repeat="indefinite">
      <video id="Video1" region="videoRegion" src="url to 1st real media
file here"/>
      <video id="Video2" region="videoRegion" src="url 2nd real media
file here"/>
    </seq>
  </body>
</smil>

If you want to play it embedded in a webpage, then include the following
html embed command:

   <embed src="url to your smil file" type="video/x-pn-realvideo-plugin"
controls="ImageWindow" autostart="true">

Hope this helps.
